The Iranian Studies Initiative at UCSB and Farhang Foundation present:
PIONEERS OF NEW PAINTING IN IRAN
A live lecture event by Dr. Alice Bombardier
This event is a part of a lecture series on Iranian Modern and Contemporary Art, which is held during the academic year 2020-2021
In Pioneers of New Painting in Iran, Dr. Bombardier will present little-known Iranian artists who developed the practice of New Painting in mid-twentieth century Iran. Facing a centuries-old pictorial heritage, they took advantage of the tumultuous 1940s to give birth to an innovative pictorial style, locally called “New Painting.” Thanks to the “transgressions” of these young artists who invented new artistic and social practices (such as the use of pure acrylic colors, outdoor painting, the principle of public exhibition, and artistic collective associations), the profession of artist in contemporary Iran evolved. Yet, many forms of resistance also arose including lawsuits, censorship, vandalism, as well as bans on publishing their periodicals. Paradoxically, even today their heritage remains obscured. Dr. Bombardier will perform an anamnesis (remembering of the past) of this forgotten history, based on her book entitled Les pionniers de la Nouvelle Peinture en Iran. Œuvres méconnues, activités novatrices et scandales au tournant des années 1940 (Bern, Peter Lang, 2017).
This lecture series has been made possible with the generous support of the Gramian-Emrani Foundation.
Lecture was moderated by Mohammadreza Mirzaei - Artists and Art Writer | University of California, Santa Barbara.
